Ted, Maggie & the Girls

This website contains photos and some history of the family, ancestors and relatives of Frederick (Ted) Martin Applegate of Corydon, Indiana, and his wife, Margaret (Maggie) Patten Applegate of Morristown, Indiana. Ted and Maggie had five daughters: Ann, Sue, Grace, Fredrica, and Barbara.

Ted Applegate was born and raised in Corydon and married Margaret Eliza Patten, of Morristown, Indiana, secretly in 1928 on Labor Day weekend. They married again, officially, on March 2, 1929. Ted was a General Practitioner physician in Corydon, and practiced out of his home office on Walnut Street. They and their five daughters lived in Corydon until September, 1948. The family then moved to Connecticut while Ted studied ophthalmology at New York Polyclinic. In May of 1949, the family moved to Monahans, Texas, and Ted opened his medical practice there, specializing in eye, ear, nose and throat. Ted died from a heart attack in April, 1959, at the age of 55. Margaret died in December, 1981, at the age of 75.
